We’ve long been fans of Cunning Minx here at Life on the Swingset, and her long running podcast Polyamory Weekly. Because of this, we were thrilled to catch up with her at Open SF this past June and even more thrilled to start some cross pollination (that one is for you, Shira B) by first having her on our show to talk about the art of The Pick Up (but not pickup artists) and then joining her on her show to continue to flog our Progressive Swinging horse. So listen to it right here (and still subscribe to Polyamory Weekly, cuz…

Kendra Holliday joins us in a discussion on how to be open and sex positive while still staying friendly and approachable. Our discussion heats up when Dylan suggests that he misses Rick Santorum competing for the Republican presidential nomination because it was such a great opportunity to discuss sex positivity in comparison to the extreme positions Santorum took on… well everything from sex’s role to women’s health, and cools back down once we all figured out that we’re all best served by having calm reasoned discussions with people we disagree with… Who knew?!

Two years ago a woman by the name of TBK visited us here on the Swingset to talk about her life, and her website, The Beautiful Kind.

Today she rejoins us and lets us know how she’s progressed on her journey from a simple webmistress to a founder of Sex Positive St. Louis, as an activist, as a mother, and as a woman. Join the Swingset crew…

Our good friends SFCuties asked us, “Is there a swinger version of PolySaturated, and what would it be called?” We take on this challenge tonight, going through what it feels like to experience polysaturation and smitten with what we call, “swing overload”.

Katz regales us with tales of her time at Burning Man including good times at the indoor air-conditioned sex dome, which then disintegrated into discussion about body odors in the context of orgies.

Once again Cooper shuffles over to the virtual Internet post office for the arduous job of sifting through all the spam, trolls, and coupon savers so that we can answer your questions as we gangbang the mailbag once more! Tonight we chat about the Bad-Dragon “Medium” sized Anthro-Dragon Dildo, a question about whether divorce or cheating is ever appropriate or “the right thing”,  a question about averting a situation about to go nuclear, a question forwarded to us by J.V.

Foreplay… it’s what we sometimes don’t have time for, but apparently what we all desperately want more of! Whether it’s giving, receiving, taking hours, or taking a few minutes, we take the time to discuss what we like, why we like it, what we do for other people and why we do for other people and figure out that sometimes all a situation can be -is- foreplay. Ginger reveals her secret mutant ability, the stealthy surprise orgasm, Shira reveals she’s only recently gotten into receiving foreplay, and Cooper THINKS he had a prostate orgasm. Join the Swingset crew at Desire Resort & Spa…

We explore cultivating relationships from both the swinging perspective and polyamorous perspective. Ginger feels ready to get out there and meet some women to date. Cooper has an important (and easy) relationship discussion with his girlfriend about their involvement level and expanding his dating.

Shira talks about how poly relationships interact with her family. We round it out with a discussion of time management, and how different swinging and poly…
